A recent program of ours included the HAAS Conference at ELTE, Budapest, Hungary on 26-27, Nov, 2004.
All information that was made available for the guests regarding the conference via the Internet (ie, schedule, location maps, food and accommodation prices & whereabouts) can still be viewed here, should any one be wanting to check back to Budapest. This might also give you an idea of how thorough / superficial our foreplanning was/is. If you feel that there were areas left overlooked, please do not hesitate to make suggestions: constructive criticism is always helpful. Thank you in advance.
